I am so sorry - it must be just about the worst thing that can happen, especialy when you want a baby so much. Good vibes for the future, whenever you decide it is the right time to try again.

I am very sorry for your loss! My Mom, my sister and I each had one miscarriage. We also each had 4-5 healthy births. I think if you really knew how many women have miscarried one or more times, you would know that it is not terribly unusual. This does nothing to ease the pain of loss, but it does suggest that your next pregnancy will likely be perfectly healthy.
However, if it was me, I would be a worrywart after two miscarriages. I would try a second opinion with another MD who could offer another perspective. And before you decide to try again, meet with an OB who will monitor you closely.
My 7 y/o son Shane exists because my OB discovered I had low hormone levels which caused a miscarriage previous to him. Something as simple as hormone replacement corrected the problem. While I am certain your OB has checked everything fully, and did anything possible to help...if it would ease your mind at all, get another opinion!
Hugs to you as your heart heals from this painful loss. Maybe you can look for a support group to help you cope with this unique pain.

I've heard that as many as 75% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, but only a fraction of that know its a miscarriage rather than a period. I feel so bad for you. See another MD, try the cervical circlage if its recommended. I'm sorry you are going through this...Originally Posted by Beckiboo

I am very sorry for your loss. If it were me, when you are ready to try again, I would request a consult with a specialist and have a genetic workup...get all your questions out there, reassure yourself by doing this prior to getting pregnant the next time. Fear of the unknown is a stressor you don't need, and this could allay some of your concerns.
